Scholars Selected by NADFAS and RBA for Prestigious London Shows FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JANUARY 2017 Scholars selected by NADFAS and RBA for prestigious London shows The National Association of Decorative & Fine Arts Societies (NADFAS) is delighted to announce that, through collaboration with the Royal Society of British Artists (RBA), twenty-two aspiring young artists, the RBA Scholars, have been selected to exhibit their work at two prestigious London venues. Representatives from NADFAS Societies from across the UK and Europe put forward 284 works including paintings, ceramics and sculpture, by promising A-Level students to be judged by the RBA Council members. The finalists were selected for exhibition for their exceptional works which combine the highest levels of skill, expression and draughtsmanship. The artworks will first be shown at the Royal Over-Seas League (ROSL), St James, London from 10 February - 12 March 2017 as part of the ‘RBA Rising Stars’ exhibition. The NADFAS RBA Scholars will exhibit alongside a selection of work from the National Students Exhibition which takes place at the Mall Galleries each July, and the RBA’s Rome Scholarship semi-finalists. The exhibition gives an overview of the strength of artistic ability, flair and creativity that exists through Britain today. The exhibition will be opened at a preview event for the students, their families and invited guests. The works next go on display at the Mall Galleries, London from 22 March - 1 April 2017 where they will sit alongside those of professional artists at the RBA's Annual Exhibition, which features the best contemporary representational painting, sculpture, printmaking and drawing, sourced from member artists and through open submission. During the exhibition at the Mall Galleries, one student will be presented with the John Ingram Award. The collaboration between NADFAS and the RBA came about following a pilot project in East Anglia in 2009. This is the first year that students’ work will be exhibited at the Royal Over-Seas League as well as the Mall Galleries. Founded in 1910, the ROSL is a non-profit private members' club dedicated to championing international friendship and understanding. ROSL ARTS supports talented young artists and musicians from the UK and Commonwealth, providing performance and exhibition opportunities which bring their work to the attention of the professional arts community, media and general public. PRESS RELEASE “ROSL Arts has supported outstanding young artists for 65 years and we are delighted to partner with NADFAS and the RBA to host this exhibition. The works selected are of exceptional quality, which is even more outstanding considering the young age of the artists presented. We are pleased to be involved in providing this first exhibition opportunity for many of these artists and look forward to welcoming visitors to the club as we look to the future of the visual arts through this fantastic selection of artworks.” Geoff Parkin, Director of Arts at ROSL. Chief Executive of NADFAS, Florian Schweizer, comments: “We are so impressed with the ability of these young artists, and delighted that they have this opportunity to showcase their talent to a wider audience. NADFAS seeks to make the arts accessible to all – the students’ inclusion in these exhibitions confirms our belief that art can be enjoyed, and created, by people of all ages.

  • Annual Report 2017 -2018
    LANCASHIRE COUNTY RUGBY FOOTBALL UNION ANNUAL REPORT 2017-18 THE SECRETARY’S OPENING REMARKS Firstly I have to thank the President, Steve Blackburn. Steve has done tremendous work over the year in travelling around clubs and representing the County. A truly approachable gentleman who has brought his own distinct sense of humour to the office. A lot of my Monday mornings have included a phone call from Steve starting with the phrase “I think I may have got away with it but……”. Needless to say the tales have me in stitches. As well as his Presidential duties he is an active member of the Disciplinary and Club & Community Committees which means he’s constantly on the go with his County missionary work. Steve has the huge support of his wife Val, who is also involved on the Mini & Junior committee. A couple entrenched in rugby and its administration, thank you both. To Rugby matters, Our Senior XV have reached the final and other reports in this booklet will cover how they got there, at the time of printing we are in the run up to the final at Twickenham against Hertfordshire whom we were runners up to in the final of the 2011-2012 season. Thanks to Mark Nelson, Steve Rigby, John Greenwood and all the backroom team, along with players who give up their time at the end of very busy seasons to support senior Rugby in Lancashire. Its an absolute joy to be involved in this side of County rugby and one which I look forward to each season.

Second, we are committed to raising ambition through very high expectations and a belief that every child can achieve great things if they have the opportunity, the drive and the support that they need. As a Ms Emma Skae result, our students have these expectations of themselves. They want to learn, they want to be successful Principal and they want to be proud. Our attendance is outstanding: students want to be here, they describe being BSc BEd MA NPQH part of Walthamstow Academy as like being part of a family. Third, at Walthamstow Academy we believe that there is no time to waste. We make the most of every day.

Mike saw the tremendous potential in taking forward the best of both those former schools. In doing so, he has created a new identity for the school, giving scope for innovation and enhancing the links between the Junior and Senior Schools, creating a whole school approach to learning and development. The school is part of the Round Square network of schools who believe in new approaches to teaching and learning that broaden horizons and challenge students to go beyond their comfort zone. AKS has created an environment where young people are given the time, motivation, support and opportunity to achieve beyond traditional expectations. We are looking for an energetic and charismatic Head who can lead the next stage of school’s development, building on the work that has already been started, enhancing on strong academic results and the varied co-curricular opportunities, whilst at the same time bringing new ideas and approaches that will generate excitement and energy in the school.

  • United Learning
    CANDIDATE BRIEFING PACK Head of Junior School at AKS Lytham United Learning arnoldkeqms.com WELCOME WELCOME Thank you for your interest in becoming Head of Junior School at AKS Lytham AKS Lytham is a vibrant and successful school in a wonderful location. We have a very strong staff team and wonderful students. When I joined as Headmaster in Summer 2014, shortly after the merger of Arnold and KEQMS, I saw the tremendous potential in taking forward the best of both those former schools. In doing so, we are also creating a new identity, giving great scope for innovation. Links between the junior and senior schools are getting stronger every year, ensuring we move forward with one vision. The new Head of Junior School will be willing to add their own ideas to inspire their colleagues in this ambitious and fast moving educational environment. The Head of Junior School sits on the Whole School Leadership Team along with Headmaster, Bursar and Senior School Deputy Heads. Across the Group, United Learning aims to ensure that each school can achieve more through working together than any would alone. There is genuine two-way collaboration between academies and independent schools, in which truly talented people working in very different circumstances are learning from one another. The Principals and Junior School Heads meet regularly to share good practice, ideas, experience and problems. Increasingly we are able, as a group of schools, to offer more professional opportunities and support to staff and wider experiences for students than any school could provide alone. AKS Lytham also works closely with HMC schools: www.hmc.org.uk and Round Square International: www.roundsquare.org.
